We never tire of this view.
The elves were creative last night!
Myah slept over at the Corey's last night and when Sophie and Paige woke up they immediately wanted to go to the condo. I told them that the girls weren't awake yet and they would have to wait until we hear from Sarah that they were up. A major meltdown ensued. I also learned from Paige that she decided not to sleep over because she thought they would watch a movie before bed. The girls ended up having to do their dictee words before we walked them down to the Corey's place.
Maria and I didn't do our workout this morning, we used the walk to the condo and extended it and walked up and around the point and then back and up our big hill for our exercise today, about an hour walk and 5km with a couple of big hills. We walked over to where the house is that we'd like to see while we're here 7 bedrooms and beach access. I'm going to email the property manager again.
Sarah sent me this photo of the girls mid-morning.
A few hours later we went down to the Corey's condo to hang out for the morning.
Maddy and Jujie have been amazing with the girls, doing all sorts of cheer with them - when they announced they were doing a handstand race Jay got in on the action.
Sophie is a champ at hand stands.
First to fall is Trev in the background.
Then Jay next while she holds strong.
Now the boys feel like they're going to die.
The girls want to have a sleepover again. I said they can but they have to do their dictee prep, their journalling and have to behave all afternoon to be able to come. Myah said "Wait, so Dana? If I misbehave does that mean that no one can have a sleepover?" "No, anyone behaving can go for the sleepover, and that was a very smart way to ask if Sophie and Paige misbehave do you still get to sleep over, I like that Myah". I also told them this is the last sleepover, that two was good so they have to spend the rest of the nights at home and look forward to seeing the girls the next day.
As we are driving later we see the iguana that sits on the wall half way down the hill, he's there every day sunning himself. Myah said we should name him and I suggested Sunny the girls named him Sunny Brick Tanner.
We had leftovers for lunch today - leftover cuban sandwiches for Jay, Trev, Maria and I and Maria made a salad. Paige doesn't want to eat her cucumber rolls, so I told her that's fine but if she doesn't eat them there are two orders there and each order was $7 so she owes me $14 USD. She had some and said she would eat the rest at a later date, we'll see. We're going to Angelina's tonight and the girls have 2 full leftover cheese pizzas (not from the same time, but slices from different places) so I told them they have two choices, they can eat this pizza for lunch and dinner and finish it and still come to Angelina's after they've eaten to hang out and have a drink and some fries up there - or I'll stay home with them while everyone else goes. They ate the pizza.
This afternoon I made pina coladas (again, lol). I was out to use the bathroom and said "Trev, I hear your ice clinking" its an unspoken signal that as someone shakes their glass to find the last sip of pina colada that you offer to fill up their glass. The next pitcher I was in the pool and Trev made the pina coladas, I told him the ratios but he made it SOOO strong, so we tried to fix it but it was never quite right. He tried.
Sunset here is from about 5:15pm to 5:45pm and it always beautiful.
At 5:55pm we start our walk down to Angelina's and the big girls give the little girls a ride. I told them they should have held out for a ride back UP the hill! Good cross training for cheer.
After the Girls were all done eating, which we hadn't even gotten our appetizers yet, I asked if they wanted to all walk back together to the house and not stay at the restaurant. That was ok with Sarah and Anthony and the big girls too so we gave them the keys and they went home.
This is Jim's last night, he flies home tomorrow to go to his company Christmas party on Friday night. Its his boss and CEO's 25th Anniversary and also one of Jim's direct reports is getting an Award that was established in honour of a colleague who passed away 4 years ago. The boys wanted to celebrate his leaving (you know what I mean), so they told Arjerry that its Jim's birthday! As we were done singing to him Jay said "Here's to 70 more!" lol. Arjerry was a good sport, as we got up to leave she said with a shrug "Happy Birthday?" She totally knew it wasn't his birthday.
So long Jim, hope you had a great Birthday!
Mom and Dad had driven down to Angelinas, Mom didn't want to walk down the hill and Maria didn't want to walk back up (she had walked up on our walk but also she and Jim had walked up on the way back from the beach where I had taken the car down to grab the gear and kids). As the car got halfway up the hill Anthony decided to hop in so Sarah passed him their leftover package and said "Here, at least take the sausage" and he said "Same goes for you".
Myah, again, was the only one sleeping over at the Corey's. So Jay slept in with Sophie and Paige slept in with me. When we went to bed I closed the bedroom door and Paige said to me "I don't want that closed". I said "It's ok, its quieter" She replied "But the stink stays in". "What stink?" She said "You'll see". Haha. I showed her though, I had curry for dinner.
